------ CUT HERE -------
#!/bin/bash
# To rename ccna.pod1.pc1.ext is renamed to ccna.pod2.pc1.ext
for file in $(ls ccna*ext | sort -rn -k 1.9)
do
let ix=$(echo $file | sed -e 's/.*pod//' -e 's/.pc..ext//')
let iy=$ix+1
newfile=$(echo $file | sed "s/pod$ix/pod$iy/")
if [ -e $newfile ] ; then
# Shouldn't get here
echo "Rename error of $newfile"
continue
fi
mv $file $newfile
done
